Hi Sergey,

    An *unbalanced* ')' 

So parsing for node names would then depend on whether parens in the
*text* are balanced?  I totally disagree :)!  The content of the text
should not influence command parsing.

    > Finally, I think such a change would mean changing Info readers,

Yeah, and we don't want to do that for something this tiny.  That game
is not worth the candle.

The change I want to make to Info format is find some way of handling
arbitrary node names (including periods, commas, colons) in all
contexts.  Probably with address@hidden markers like @image.  Although this will
also break current Info readers, at least then they won't be broken on
existing documents, only new ones that use the new feature.

Best,
k
